It should have been fixed since some months in Debian (and Ubuntu).
This might be an udev problem then.
Is this only for amd64?
>From the Debian bug report:
For the record, udev uses the kernel inotify feature to learn about new
rules. If for whatever reason (not compiled in e.g.) this didn't work,
it didn't learn about the new rule before a restart. I added a manual
reload to the postinst file to work around this.
The used workaround is:
/sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules
The problem in Ubuntu appears to be that the vboxdrv kernel module gets
loaded/modprobed, _before_ the udev rule is active.
I'll move the init script, which modprobes the vboxdrv module from
virtualbox-ose-modules to virtualbox-ose and then the udev rule should
be installed, _before_ the init script is executed.
** Changed in: virtualbox-ose (Ubuntu)
